One (1) Grand Prize will be awarded to an eligible entrant only if he/she accurately predicts the outcome of all 64 games in the NCAA Tournament (“Perfect Bracket”). The Grand Prize (as hereinafter defined) will only be awarded if an eligible entrant submits a Perfect Bracket (the “Grand Prize Winner”).

If more than one (1) eligible entrant submits a Perfect Bracket and each is confirmed as a Grand Prize Winner, the Grand Prize will be equally divided among the contest’s Grand Prize Winners, with each Grand Prize Winner entitled to the Grand Prize Winner’s proportionate share of the Grand Prize regardless of the whether the Grand Prize Winner elects the Annual Payment Option (defined below) or the One-Time Payment Option (defined below). For example, if there are two (2) Grand Prize Winners, each Grand Prize Winner will be entitled to elect either 50% of the Annual Payment Option or 50% of the One-Time Payment Option.

Grand Prize: The grand prize (“Grand Prize”) will consist of one million dollars ($1,000,000) USD, payable over the course of ten (10) years in ten (10) equal annual installments of $100,000 (“Annual Payment Option”). The Grand Prize Winner has the option, in the Grand Prize Winner’s sole discretion, to elect to receive a one-time payment of $500,000 (“One-Time Payment Option”) instead of the 10 equal annual installments of $100,000.

Prize Conditions: LIMIT ONE PRIZE PER ENTRANT. A Grand Prize Winner is not eligible to win a First Place Prize.
THE GRAND PRIZE WILL NOT BE AWARDED IF NO ELIGIBLE ENTRANT SUBMITS A PERFECT BRACKET.

Can I make more than one pick at a time?

No. The game is designed so you can only make one pick per day. Note that once you have a matchup picked you can NOT change it even if the match up has not started yet. All picks are final.

If my pick ends in a PUSH is my streak reset back to 0?

No! Any matchup that goes final with a PUSH result is scored as if the event didn't happen.

How many matchups will be on the board each day?

It depends on the day’s sporting schedule. There is no fixed limit to how many or how few each day.

Can a matchup be pulled off the board after I've picked it?

Yes, matchups can be removed from the board at anytime. There are a number of different circumstances which can lead this happening. The most common are weather delays. In most cases this will not happen after a significant amount of time has taken place, or the outcome is mostly already decided. Matchups can also be pulled off the board if a significant change in the winning probability is determined. An example of this can be player injuries or suspensions which are announced day of the event.

How are matchups scored if a player or players in a listed prop do NOT end up playing?

Any prop that states a player or players must start will be cancelled and pushed for all pickers if one or more of the players doesn't start. (i.e. Which QB will record MORE PASSING YARDS in the FIRST HALF? (Both Must Start). If one or both of the QBs do NOT start the game, the prop will scored as a PUSH). If a player is scratched from the lineup prior to the game, the prop will be scored as a PUSH.
